react-router-hooks-patch

Patch react-router's Route components with static hook methods onEnter/onLeave.

Install

npm install react-router-hooks-patch --save

Usage

patchRouteHooks(Route: <Route>, data: ?Object);

• Route - Route or array or Routes which component you want to patch with static onEnter/onLeave methods. Children routes will be patched too.
• data - pass data that you need in your methods. It's perfect place for instances of some sort of data abstraction (e.g. Flux/Redux in universal apps). **Passed data object will be the first argument in onEnter/onLeave functions.

Requirements

Patch works only with latest react-router version (>= 2, see upgrade guide);

Example

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Route from 'react-router/lib/Route';
import browserHistory from 'react-router/lib'
import patchRouteHooks from 'react-router-hooks-patch';
import Flux from '../path/to/flux'; // or any data abstraction

class App extends React.Component {
    static onEnter({ flux }, nextState, replace, done) {
        // do some async actions and call done when you're ready
        done();
    }

    static onLeave({ flux }) {
        // receives only passed data object as argument
    }

    render() {
        return <div>...</div>;
    }
}

const routes = (
    <Route path="/" component={App}>
        <Route path="about" component={About} onEnter={({ flux }) => {
            // methods on Route also get patched
        }} />
        <Route path="users" component={Users} />
    </Route>
);

const flux = new Flux();
const patchedRoutes = patchRouteHooks(routes, { flux });

ReactDOM.render(
    <Router history={browserHistory} routes={patchedRoutes} />,
    document.getElementById('app');
);
